CSSF Blog Tour: Edenstar

Today is the Christian Sci-Fi and Fantasy blog tour. Instead of doing a book review today, we are focusing on the website Edenstar.

If you are looking for a resource for finding quality Sci-Fi or Fantasy from a Christian perspective, then this is a great place to start. The couple, Bill and Cheryl Bader, used their talents (his - library and cataloguing, hers - web design) to create Edenstar.

From their site:

For Christians who enjoy science fiction and fantasy, finding the fiction we like to read can be tough.

The traditional Christian bookstore shelves science fiction with other fiction. So we sort through prairie romances to find the occasional science fiction or fantasy title.

In the general-market bookstore, Christian science fiction is shelved with other science fiction, if it's carried at all. So here again we sift through inappropriate material to find the books we like to read.

That's why we started Edenstar Books and Games in February 2003. We believe there are many others like us, who would love to read more Christian-themed science fiction and fantasy, if they just knew where to find it.

They have over 600 items listed on their site! They have it categorized in many ways that make it easy to find what you're looking for: Adults, Kids, Videos, Games, and specific categories for Narnia and Tolkien, the foundations of Christian fantasy.

Be sure to check them out, and I will share a little more about Edenstar over the next couple of days. Be sure to check out my friends in the tour below for more CSFF goodness!
